soundfixer VS read-aloud

Sound fixer - useful for these video with only one audio channel

There are browser plugins that do this in the browser itself with 1-2 clicks, much faster than going through settings. The one I use on Firefox is this one, but there were a few more when I searched for it. It also applies the changes per tab so you don't have to change anything back after you're done watching the video.

I use the Read Aloud Firefox extension to read newspaper articles and the wandering inn stories. Works well for me. In the configuration there are free and premium voices. I enable Google Translate voice and increase the speed a bit.

Main repo (website there too, or search on Firefox extensions): https://github.com/ken107/read-aloud

I've already used this in the past, and it's been good: https://github.com/ken107/read-aloud Good luck!

I've tried many, but only Read Aloud competes—your input is appreciated all the same <3

Here is the discussion with the developer on GitHub who's doubling down on their agenda without addressing their deceptive practice.

I don't have a wide knowledge of FOSS speech synthesizers, but one related FOSS application I can recommend is Read Aloud. It is a browser extension for Chrome/Firefox that can use both FOSS synthesizers and external proprietary ones. You can expand voices by installing more local voices. You can for free use their "Basic" voices or pay a small fee for some of their Premium voices (if you pay for premium, as I did for 1 USD, you will get free additional characters every month. I am currently sitting with more characters than I started with). You can alternatively give API keys for Google Cloud, AWS, or IBM. If you want more quality voices.
